The measuring data acquisition methods from local sensor are many kinds of techniques. But, if sampling time is not important and we need data of many sensors it is more resonable to be applied economical system. In this paper, the data acquisition technique is used two RS232C communication signals simultaneously. The one come from computer serial port, and another is signal changed from parallel port. In this case the circuits would be simplification and that communication cable is connected by Parallel instead of Branch connection.

There are several methods which estimate the behavior of the Structures. Recently, several displacement measuring instruments such a GPS are substantially developed. So, considering this technique, displacement measurement will be a very efficient method for estimating the behavior of the Structures and maintenance. Therefore we need to develop methods of structure maintenance & management by using displacement measuring instruments. In this study, I suggest to maintenance & management method by using displacements about simple beams and cantilever beams which are very important structure in civil engineering. The results show that the proposed method is capable of estimating the displacement and stress of the Beam Member by combining the proper number of measurement and optimum measurement points.

Agent-based modeling (ABM), as a relatively new simulation technique, has recently gained in popularity in the civil engineering domain due to its uniquely advantageous features. Among many civil engineering applications, ABM has been applied to facility operation and management, such as energy consumption management, as well as the enhancement of maintenance and repair processes. The former studies used ABM to manage energy consumption through simulating human energy-related behaviors and their interactions with facilities, as well as electrical, heating, and cooling systems and appliances, while the latter used ABM to enhance maintenance process through facilitating coordination, negotiation, and decision making between facility managers, service providers, and repair workers. The present study aims to provide a short qualitative review on the most recent applications of ABM in the above-mentioned areas. Based on the review and follow-up analysis, the study identifies the advantages, disadvantages, and limitations of ABM applications to facility operation and management, and offers several potential future research topics in the hope of filling the existing literature gaps.

Life-Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) for highway projects is known as an effective analytical technique that uses economic principles to evaluate long-term alternative investment options, especially for comparing the values of alternative pavement design structures and construction strategies. In the Unites States, the 2012 Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21^st Century Act (MAP-21) amended the United States Code to mandate that the United States Government Accountability Office (GOA) conducts a study of the best practices for calculating life-cycle costs and benefits for the federally funded highway projects in 2013. The RealCost 2.5CA program was developed and adapted as an official LCCA tool to comply with regulatory requirements for California state highway projects in 2013. Utilization of this California-customized LCCA software helps Caltrans to achieve substantial economic benefits (agency cost and road user cost savings) for highway projects. Proper implementation of LCCA for roadway construction and rehabilitation would deliver noticeable savings of agency's roadway maintenance cost especially in developing counties where financial difficulties exist.

This paper investigates a non Markovian M/G/1 queue with retrial policy, different kind of service rates as well as unsatisfied clients which is inspired by an example of a transmission medium access control in wireless communications. The server tends to work continuously until it finds at least one client in the system. The server will begin its maintenance tasks after serving all of the clients and if the system becomes empty. Provisioning periods in regular working periods and maintenance service periods should be evenly divided. Using supplementary variable technique, the amount of clients in the system as well as in the orbit were found. Further few performance measures of the system were demonstrated numerically.

Design restructuring improves software quality by reorganizing design elements and reduces maintenance cost. Object-oriented metrics can help to detect design flaws and find transformations to reorganize design elements. Basically, the transformations must preserve the behavior of an initial system. This paper describes a metric based restructuring technique preserving the behavior of object-oriented designs, founded on set theory, and gives its validity by applying the technique to applications written in Java. This paper also compares the technique with a technique using simulated annealing algorithm to show its effectiveness.

This paper presents minimum area repair method that is one of the preventive maintenance techniques in asphalt concrete pavements. In this method, a 70cm-width as an effective repair zone was suggested considering the conventional longitudinal damages (rutting and fatigue cracking) in early stages. In addition, the repair zone can be readjusted according to the pavement damage levels. A field test bed was constructed to verify the adaptness for the repair method. Test results revealed that the minimum area repair method can be adopted as a preventive maintenance technique in flexible pavements to recover an appropriate serviceability level. The preventive maintenance method may be one of the major maintenance methods of flexible pavements with an appropriate application. It is also noted that the method may be a long term maintenance cost effective and pavement life ensuring one.

This research presents a new maintenance planning method for deteriorating bridges considering simultaneously the minimization of the maintenance cost and maximization of the bridge performance. Optimal maintenance planning is formulated as a multi-objective optimization problem that treats the maintenance cost as well as the bridge performance such as the condition grade of the bridge deck, girder and pier. To effectively address the multi-objective optimization problem and decision making process for the obtained solution set, we apply a genetic algorithm as a numerical searching technique and adopt a preference-based optimization method. A numerical example for a typical 5-span prestressed concrete girder bridge shows that the maintenance cost and the performance of the bridge can be balanced reasonably without severe trade-offs between each objectives.

Bi-2212 and Bi-2223 thin films are prepared by IBS(ion beam sputtering) technique. Three phases of Bi-2201, Bi-2212 and Bi-2223 appear as stable ones in spite of the conditions for thin film fabrication of Bi-2212 and Bi-2223 compositions, depending on substrate temperature (T $_{sub}$) and ozone pressure(PO$_3$). It is found out that these phases are limited within very narrow temperature.e.

Cracks of concrete structure must be analyzed and estimated synthetically in order to have a maintenance and to insure the safety and the durability of structure. Concrete cracks have to be surveyed with respect to depth, width, shape and direction etc, but crack depth among these items is not measured easily. Occasionally, it needs to measure the crack depth of concrete structure for the purpose of evaulating the safe capacity and the necessity of repair. Therefore, this research is performed to verify the applicability and the accuracy of Ultra-sonic Pulse Velocity Technique(Tester), in non-destructive testing methods of concrete crack depth.
